*You’ll do six singles, adding weight each rep. It can be 5 pounds or 50, depending on how each single feels. It’s not a max effort on the last set; it’s just the sixth single. If the loads feel heavy, just add five pounds. If the bar is flying, add more.

*The load on the bar depends on how you feel. If the effort feels easy and light, “nudge” the load up. Here’s the secret (again): The goal of this program is to gently raise your efforts (load) on the easy days so that the bar feels light.

If you start out lifting a weight, say 205 at one effort level, and in a few weeks you’re lifting 245 at the same perceived effort and speed, you’re definitely stronger.

*For each of the lifts, choose a beginning weight between 60-75% 1RM. We are going to be hitting these lifts every day, so don’t get too hung up on weights and percentages. Remember the goals of this program: Train as Heavy as Possible, Train as Often as possible, Train as Fresh as possible.
